Made with a program called The Quill, a text-adventure creation program, this game's story is based on a number of Beatles song lyrics. Set in the year 2953, you are a Keeper of the Archives who takes care of Ancient Earth knowledge while space pioneers look for a New Earth to colonize. In your research, you come upon 'The Four Kings of EMI' and being fascinated you enter a computer simulation of a Beatles influenced world in 1960's Liverpool.

Through 150 locations you will adventure encountering people and places from Beatles songs such as Maxwell who has a silver hammer, and Penny Lane. Make sure to grab any food and drink as you go along as you must keep your health up.

Subject: Hello from Garry Marsh, the Author of Beatle Quest.

How nice to find my game here, fully playable too.
I wanted to be a Paper Back Writer, but wrote Beatle Quest instead.
I can't believe that it's still going strong 32 years after I wrote it!
You can contact me about the game at garrymarsh@hotmail.com
